Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I feel like my physical pain from migraines is causing moodiness too, not the most pleasant thing to experience. I don’t know why I insistent on being on my phone either, even this dim night mode screen hurts my eyes. And I’m getting annoying body sensations that are reminding me of trauma. I guess I am in anxiety mode right now. I feel like I am taking over your thread, sorry.

I hope your work day is going well ❤️.

Hey all good that’s what we’re all here for to vent about study going on. I hope things get better for you soon and I’m here to chat anytime about it @creative_writer.

Yeah I’ve just got home I’m a bit tired now it was so busy until I finished too many people getting Covid hahaha. Hopefully my mood doesn’t go down hill also because once I get time like when I come home I have more time to ruminate and stuff.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 had dinner so feel a bit better physically. Covid cases have spiked. Being at home can feed rumination. What usually prevents you from going into that spiral?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

Yes! I did feel better. Not 100%, but I went in the pool anyway. Spent most of the day in the pool because the weather was so hot.

Otherwise the heat makes me agitated lol.

How was your day?

Re: Tw Not Coping

That’s good then @creative_writer.

I like reading, meditation, watching tv, going for a walk. Then I also have some bad coping things like self-harm.

What about you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thats good then @tyme. I’m happy to hear you got to go to the pool.

Work was very busy. Now I’ve just had dinner and hopefully going to read my book so I don’t spiral because I feel my emotions building up which isn’t fun.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I have a range of strategies I use when I am stressed that fall under grounding and deep breathing, self-soothing e.g., aromatherapy, shower, distraction-tv, books. I have SH in the past, but thankfully no urges today.

Hi @tyme 🙂.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thriller? Horror? Sounds interesting, but probably not my kind of book lol. @Birdofparadise8 . I hope I'm not disturbing you reading. No need to reply if you want to get back to your book.
